    Thanks Bob. I'll see how it goes once we fully insulate and and cover the walls. The added board may be the way to go, as I foresee some troubles tucking the cover into the frame slot. I built the...

    We are in Rensselaer County, but hope to get up to Washington County. The rural atmosphere lends to more relaxed building codes. There are some yurts up in the town we are looking to buy land in,...

    Finished the basic door building today. Now needs some filling, sanding, painting and also need to forge some hinges and such. I've decided to make the five-panel pattern that seems to be popular...

    Jafo liked post by dlhall On thread : Yurt Dome Insulation Install and Condensation
    Well it's warmed up to -21C & frost has cleared off the dome & most of the snow has gone off the dome as well. Our French doors that were frosted right over are pretty much cleared up as well as the...

    We've temporarily covered the walls. This camo tarp will be used for the final cover as well, but better attached and using two overlapping tarps, so the whole height of the wall plus the floor edge...

    So in the end we used a ratchet strap to compress the khana a little more, then re-tightened the cable. We've also trimmed the rafters and the roof cover now fits over the roof edge nicely. Still has...

    Problem with our yurt is that we have the deck under it and it gets pretty high in the front part. Everything must be reached from a ladder. Here's a picture of the roof with temporary foil cover....

    Glad you like it. I have all four sections covered now, just need to make a top cap to go over the upper edges of the covering panels. Pics will follow tomorrow, when it's all done. Really looking...

    Washington Sales Tax will likely be as much or more than the shipping cost from Oregon, so I would not use that as a determining factor. If you need some referrals please feel free to contact our...

    Finishing the ring. Meanwhile, here's couple pics from yesterday's and today's progress. Making template for the stovepipe hole shape. Guess it can be calculated somehow, but in my case, the tape...

    The metal quarter only needs the pipe hole cut. Bought the pipes today. Looks like the shape of my tono will really ask for very little bend in the covering material. Standby for some pics of a...
